Has a pretty good dick.
I cannot stand Eminem when he's trying to be funny. He's not clever or witty with his insults and covers the easiest topics to satire. But when the man freestyles, he seriously has NO peers. Check out his freestyles with Westwood and youll know what i mean.
But personally, and this is only personally, this is my list:
5.Sage Francis:Known mostly for his support of animal rights and legendary freestyle battles, Francis has cemented himself as one of the mostt thought provoking and poetically sound mc's today.
4.Kid Cudi:Definatly a style all his own, he blends soothing melodies with a unique flow and hypnotizing ambiance. and after ony one major album has already mastered what few have, and thats creating a new environment in hip hop where taboo topics for the community arent off limmits and individuality is allowed.
3.Big Pun:Known for his size just as much as music, Pun was definatly one of a kind. Maybe im just a sucker for dirty lyrics, but no one could flow as elgantly and viciously at the same time like he could. Not many in the game today have the same vocal presence he had. Sadly he will mostly be remembered for his death, but i still think Capital Punishment is one fo the greatest hip hop albums ever.
2.Mos Def:Although a great actor, Def's true talent is his music. Thought provoking, gritty and honest are the best ways to describe his albums. One of the only rappers who can feel mainstream and underground at the same time.
1.Common:Somewhere in the same category as Mos Def is Common. Originally known as Common Sense, he broke through early in the growing Chicago scene and collaborated with artists like De La Soul and Lauren Hill, he created a niche for himself when most of hip hop was gangster rap. He is deep but powerful and can send a message without being preachy. Definatly a poineer in showing what hip hop can be and what it doesnt have to restrain itself to being.
